Why is everyone hating McCarthy for this? He's in no way in charge of the stadium maintenance crew and has no official say in the employees firing. We also have only heard a detailed version of the story from Wood himself, the Packers organization nor McCarthy has actually elaborated on it. For all we know Wood could have been in trouble with organization and this was a three strikes kind of thing.
All I'm saying is that we don't know all the facts but for some reason you're all so eager to jump on the "I hate McCarthy" bandwagon. Ridiculous.

Whatever I think of MM and his press conferences, (they have always irritated me). I have always respected his reputation as a good coach. My personal perception was and is that he is a "nuts and bolts" coach, a student of the game, a technician, however you want to put it. I always also wanted to believe that his pressers were not reflective of how he goes about his business with the team itself, motivation-wise, discipline-wise, etc. I am still willing to believe that a lot of this has to do with the players, contrasted to the coaching, but am getting less and less convinced of that by the day. I have repeatedly said he should have until the end of the year before I totally give up on him. My advocacy of a Bill Cowher, for example, is in the event of a MM firing, which would be after the season.
Then this.
Regardless of the truth of the matter, MM has handled it beyond poorly. Did you ever notice that this man never reads a newspaper? Really? Does no one in the organization read one either? Think about it. He is getting ready to do a press conference and a radio show, the papers have splashed this story all over the place in the morning, and no one has seen it, or if they have, have not given him a heads up... When he is about to face the same media? If true, that is beyond incompetence. We look like an organization that doesn't know what it is doing. Does that help us when we go to get some free agent down the road, as an example?
Plus I do not believe him. As has been said in so many ways by so many posters, he is parsing his words...not answering questions...however you want to put it, just like a teenager lying to his old man, as was also stated by others. If what this employee said was true, and they (GBP) have had ample opportunity to refute this and have opted not to, it is reflective of a rather petty, small man with more power than he should have...a little tyrant against a small someone in the "big scheme"that can do him no harm. An organizational bully, if you will. I hate people that do that shit. Hate.
It has NOTHING (for me) to do with his wins and losses this year.
